Established over 30 years ago in 1984, Balmore Specialist Contracts has become one of the UK’s leading specialists in Stonework Restoration, Rope Access/Steeplejack Works, Lightning Protection, Seamless Roofing Systems, Commercial Cleaning, Building Maintenance and aerial media.
As a multi-service construction company we have experience in commercial, industrial and private contracts and are approved contractors for the installation of Decothane & Hyperdesmo seamless roofing systems.
Managing Director Victor MacKay has been in the industry for 40 years and has worked on many prestigious and high profile projects from cathedral restoration to power station chimneys up to 750ft high, the restoration of a major historic building and more recently, an iconic Newcastle city centre store. Commenting on new technology, Victor explains, “The Internet has opened up new and challenging horizons, giving us a fresh approach to meet the growing demand for our services,” Continuing, he describes the popularity of one of BSC’s most widely used protection services, “Many clients in the UK who have used the Decothane / Hyperdesmo systems appreciate the benefits of protection from inclement weather at a value for money cost”

Balmore carried out a whole range of works to the externals of the notable Grade I listed building, providing specification advice along the way. Works included stone consolidation, lighting protection, stone repairs, stone cleaning, pigeon protection and the like. Both the Building Surveyor and Planning Officer both commented specifically on their approach and workmanship.

The works were delivered both on time and on budget, whilst achieving an extremely high standard of finish. From a cost management perspective, I found their approach both amiable and non contractual, which is particularly refreshing during these times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Balmore on any external fagade contract or similar, I have since awarded them further contracts, and will be looking to introduce them to alternative Client bases of ours.

Ian Dewar – Director – Leslie Clark Ltd

Balmore Specialists Contracts carried out a building project for us. The work included new roof on a Glasgow tenement in addition the gable end needed rendered. The work was done well, in the timescales promised and to a high standard.

I would have no reservations in recommending Balmore to any future customer.
